The end links allow the swaybar to be connected to the control arm. The endlink has to be able to pivot in many directions at the same time as the suspension moves through its range of motion. The stock end links are a balljoint style so there is a little bit of play in the joint. By replacing them with a hyme joint like the op did it will take out away the play of the ball joint type of endlink. Each style has its own problems as you can see with the hyme joint is that there is no rubber boot to keep the dirt and water out. So that creats it own own issues with a daily driven car
